Document Classes ⇒ Beamer class, pstricks and \usetheme{warsaw}

[dk1310]

Hi there. I'm new at this.

When I am trying to compile a beamer class presentation, with \usetheme{warsaw} and \usepackage{pstricks} (using latex-miktex 2.8), winedt5.5 gives me the following error:

Code: Select all

! undefined control sequence.
<recently read> \@@drv
1.11 \begin{document}
?

Although it works with another theme (i.e. montpellier), or without \usepackage{pstricks}. The funny thing is that it used to compile, but now it does not any more (I must have updated some package...)

I post minimal code below and also the log file with \listfiles in the attachment.

Can anyone help me with this? Thank you!
David

The log file is incomplete. But that's not relevant here. You only can compile documents using PSTricks (Postscript Tricks) directly with PDFLaTeX when simultaneously using a package like auto-pst-pdf. Otherwise you have to go via DVI and PS to PDF by compilation with LaTeX. If do not need special features of PSTricks, you can use the pgf/tikZ package which is internally used by the beamer class. You might present a drawing that you want to do so we could try to reproduce it with pgf/tikZ.

run the document with xelatex instead of pdflatex or choose the sequence latex->dvips->ps2pdf

Hi Herbert, Thorsten.
Thank you for your quick reply. Although both answers seem correct, due to my little knowledge of latex, I couldn't implement any of these:

1) I don't have the option to run xetex or xelatex in my winedt. So I guess I cannot compile to dvi first

2) I added \usepackage{auto-pst-pdf}, but it still gives me the same error

Also I don't know exactly which graphics since I am working as RA for a professor and I have been asked to "make this run"...

Thanks a lot...

I installed WinEdt6.0 and had a xetex and xelatex at the menu when I open it for pdf-texify. After choosen xelatex and then clicking on the button I could run xelatex. Maybe that you have to download the file xdvipdfmx.cfg from CTAN or
http://texnik.dante.de/config/ and to save it in
...\MiKTeX2.9\tex\xetex\xetex-pstricks

Don't forget to update the file name data base
